About this title

Review:

With excellent instructions and beautiful photos, Paper Art explores numerous aspects of a versatile, age-old medium that still offers today's crafters opportunity for innovation. The first section covers traditional papermaking techniques, outlines necessary supplies and details several methods, then explains how to add color and texture and how to make shaped papers. The next section, "Decorating Paper," encompasses embossing, stenciling, stamping, marbling, batik, various printing methods, orizomegami (the Japanese art of pleating the paper to create dye resists), and paste papers. "Papercraft Techniques" demonstrates manipulative methods: collage, papier-mâché, weaving, pleating, pop-ups, and sculpture. For additional inspiration, Paper Art also showcases striking works by 50 leading paper artists.
